“…After the hurricane caused by monsoon rains in India, 300 children/adolescents were affected by the disaster, and it was determined that 200 children/adolescents had at least one psychosocial problem related to the disaster. Based on these results, it was stated in the published report that 66.7% of children/adolescents were affected by the disaster after the Uttarakhand disaster and this value was quite high (Anaelraj et al, 2016). Between 2002 and 2012, 31,012 babies died in Japan and 1450 in Tohoku.…”

While disasters are situations in which people cannot cope with their own capacities, it is impossible for risk groups that need the care of others not to be affected by it. Our country is frequently exposed to disasters due to its geopolitical position, irregular population growth, being a developing country, increased industrialization, insufficient infrastructure, and many other reasons. It is very important that disadvantaged community members who need help are easily accessible and identifiable at the time of disaster. The main purpose of this study is to provide the fastest, most accurate and reliable information to the elderly living alone, to children who lost their parents during the event, to women, to those who cannot do the work they need to do on their own in their personal or social life due to any deficiencies, to those who have their own disease and who have been harmed by disasters. In this study, the risk groups that will be affected by disasters were determined and the data of the people created as an example were transferred to the data matrix system. First of all, individuals in risk groups (disabled, chronic patients, elderly, children and women) were determined and then a data matrix was created on the website.

“…These were not reconstructed afterwards. Several psychological studies note a strong correlation between the destruction and instances of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (Aneelraj et al 2015; Srivastava et al 2015). The loss of land had the same effect (Srivastava et al 2015).…”

Caste-based Lists and Fading Maps: Bureaucratic Anxiety and Shifting Landscapes in the Himalayan Uttarakhand after the 2013 Flash Floods

In 2013, floods in the state of Uttarakhand, particularly in its Himalayan district of Rudraprayag, led to landslides, rockfall and landslips. To calculate compensation and provide restitution at the village level, the state administration had to verify land ownership. However, since the most recent revenue settlement was conducted in 1967, the administration had to rely on faded maps and guesswork, and they used caste-based procedures and lists. The process created bureaucratic anxiety, fuelled by an affective excess to the given paradigm of bureaucratic embodiment and procedure (described by Nayanika Mathur as the ‘Sarkari affect’). By bureaucratic anxiety here I am using a modified Lacanian formulation implying the absence of a knowledge of the other’s desire, in this case, the desire of the state. Post-disaster governance in Kedarnath creates the sense of an invisibility of the state order, which becomes opaque and difficult to gauge. Using graphic artefacts I show how gaps in the administrative framework created an interpretive space between state and citizen, how this space was mortified by the manner in which the compensation process was carried out and how such mortification affected the community’s potential to use bureaucratic gaps to create a network of subjectivity that is actively involved in its own world-making.
